A gun has a muzzle speed of 80 meters per second. What angle of elevation should be used to hit an object 180 meters away? Negle

ct air resistance and use g=9.8m/sec2 as the acceleration of gravity.
The answer must be in radians.

I found: angle=1/2arcsin (180*9.8)/(80^2), but it was not correct.

Hi. Your working equation is correct. The general equation to be used is 

Range = sin(2 \alpha )( \frac{ v^{2} }{g} )

However, make sure that when you input this in the calculator, it is in the mode of rad. 

The answer is 0.14 rad.

Knowing the initial velocity and angle, the horizontal range formula is given by   R= V^2sin(2teta) / g, so we can get 
sin(2teta)=Rg/V^2
sin(2teta)= (180 x 9.8)/ 80^2= 0.27, sin(2teta)=0.27, 2teta=arcsin(0.27)=15.66, so teta=15.66/2

teta=7.83°

A transformer consisting of two coils wrapped around an iron core is connected to a generator and a resistor (Resistor is connec
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The peak emf of the generator is 40.94 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in primary coil= 11

Number of turns in secondary coil= 18

Peak voltage = 67 V

We nee to calculate the peak emf

Using relation of number of turns and emf

\dfrac{N_{1}}{N_{2}}=\dfrac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}

E_{1}=\dfrac{N_{1}}{N_{2}}\times E_{2}

Where, N₁ = Number of turns in primary coil

N₂ = Number of turns in secondary coil

E₂ = emf across secondary coil

Put the value into the formula

E_{1}=\dfrac{11}{18}\times67

E_{1}=40.94\ V

Hence, The peak emf of the generator is 40.94 V.

Explain how electric currents flow only in closed circuits​
Fed [463]

Answer:

The wires are connected to both terminals of the battery, so they form a closed loop. Most circuits have devices such as light bulbs that convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. ... When the switch is turned on, the circuit is closed and current can flow through it.
